A 35-year-old Army sergeant from Hillsboro died Sunday, becoming the 100th member of the U.S. military with ties to Oregon or Southwest Washington to perish in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Dale Henderson was one of three U.S. soldiers to die in Panjway in Kandahar province when the Humvee they were in clipped a roadside bomb and blew apart. An Afghan interpreter working alongside the soldiers also died, said his father, Jim Henderson of Hillsboro.

More than 100 people, including civilians, police and insurgents, have died since Friday as fierce fighting has broken out across parts of Afghanistan. The tally includes the casualties from a suicide bomb that ripped apart a police academy bus in Kabul on Sunday that killed 35 in one of the deadliest attacks since the coalition-led effort hit Afghanistan in 2001.

According to family and military officials, Henderson is survived by his wife, Jennifer; daughter, Kayley; his mother, Cindy Henderson of Cornelius; sister, Athena Ann; and his father.
